That worked perfectly. Thanks so much.<div><br></div><div>It does make me wonder why the theme developer added the fanart functionality when it has such a dramatic impact on performance. </div><div><br></div><div>Cheers, Paul</div>

<br>
</div>This is correct. The CPU lag is mythfrontend searching for "Fanart".<br>
<div class="im"><br>

<br>
</div>Mythcenter theme doesn't support "Fanart". Mythbuntu theme does<br>
<div class="im"><br>
><br>
> Any suggestions for speeding up the Watch Recordings screen in the<br>
> Mythbuntu theme?<br>
<br>
</div>Edit /usr/share/mythtv/themes/Mythbuntu/recordings-ui.xml<br>
<br>
Locate the 'Fanart' block and either comment it out (using <!-- and -->) or<br>
just delete it.<br>
<br>
<!--<br>
<imagetype name="fanart"><br>
<filename>background.png</filename><br>
<area>0,0,1280,720</area><br>
<preserveaspect>yes</preserveaspect><br>
</imagetype><br>
--><br>
<br>
Reload mythfrontend, and the LAG should disappear. (As will the Fanart support, which<br>
I guarantee you won't miss).<br>
